== How Do You Pronounce Claddagh? == |
|
|
Claddagh is pronounced KLAD-uh — rhymes with "ladder" without the "r." The "gh" at the end is silent for most English speakers, though in the original Irish it produces a soft guttural sound that doesn't have a direct equivalent in the English alphabet. That's exactly why the spelling looks so different from how it sounds.[{{Cite web |title=How Do You Pronounce Claddagh Ring? |url=https://www.claddaghring.com/pages/how-to-spell-claddagh-ring/ |website=Claddagh Ring.}}] |

A quick guide: |

agh — pronounced "uh," the "gh" is silent[{{Cite web |title=How Do You Pronounce Claddagh Ring? |url=https://www.claddaghring.com/pages/how-to-spell-claddagh-ring/ |website=Claddagh Ring.}}] |
